Florida is great white shark stomping ground in winter, sightings likely to increase

Dive instructor Corey Embree was on a routine descent, slipping into the vast blue wilderness three miles off Juno Beach.

He hoped the lemon sharks would appear on the gin-clear New Year’s Day — had just joked on the ship that maybe the group he shepherded would see a white pointer, another name for a great white shark. Someone had mimicked the da-duh, da-duh, da-duh soundtrack from the movie Jaws.
